yes media has been lying their ass off, Trump never claimed he surpassed Obama in 2009, all he was saying was hey !  at least it wasn't pathetic and wasn't just around 250000 that dishonest medias tried to claim. . and remember in 2009 security was more relaxed !! all he was saying is if obama in 2009 was 1.5 million , 2017 it was at least 1 million , when u take pic at lowest gathering time and compare it to obma's highest time , CNN NBC wins!!  people lose !!

This dude wanted HUGE every thing and all deplorable did not leave their houses otherwise it would have bigger than Obama.   How many people used the subway  and trains in 2017? 195 K vs 400K.  Why Trump administration has to go after media regarding the numbers of visitors in him inauguration. IF it is less so what ? Why he has to make fuss about it? If people were paid for  lodging and fooding as well trasportation may have visited by deplorable. https://www.theguardian.com/us...

For sure it was not over crowded like in Obama 2009 but it was not empty like they are showing everywhere. Paid CNN , ABC, NBC never showed full crowd after they gathered .

Really? Did you even watch this? “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration -- period,” never said in the history of US, never said better than 2009, in fact adding, "Nobody knows the number exactly past or present", all are speculation just looking at pics and travel metro data. so could be ever or never or in between. Dishonest liberal media NYT twit started it with no. claim relying just based on pic. and hence Trump's rebuttal saying, " you scrutinize my every twit why can't I make you responsible too ?"

Speaking later on Saturday in the White House briefing room, Mr. Spicer amplified Mr. Trump’s false claims. “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe,” he said. There is no evidence to support this claim. Not only was Mr. Trump’s inauguration crowd far smaller than Mr. Obama’s in 2009, but he also drew fewer television viewers in the United States (30.6 million) than Mr. Obama did in 2009 (38 million) and Ronald Reagan did in 1981 (42 million), Nielsen reported. Figures for online viewership were not available. Mr. Spicer said that Washington’s Metro system had greater ridership on Friday than it did for Mr. Obama’s 2013 inauguration. “We know that 420,000 people used the D.C. Metro public transit yesterday, which actually compares to 317,000 that used it for President Obama’s last inaugural,” Mr. Spicer said. Neither number is correct, according to the transit system, which reported 570,557 entries into the rail system on Friday, compared with 782,000 on Inauguration Day in 2013. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...

These pictures were taken at about the SAME time for that particular inauguration day, so to say that the picture taken during Trump's inauguration was before the crowd gathered is not true. And this is the comparison of the people rode metro: And, this is the TV audience comparison: Many major TV stations didn't even talk about the crowd size on Friday. It was Trump himself who made a big deal out of such a trivial matter. Shall we stop living in our own small comfort world of alternative reality?

I think there were a lot of variables involved in the crowd factor but to be fair there were a lot of blockades made so people could not get in. To show the full traffic at obama's inauguration and show the picture that was not peak time for Trump is not same comparision. Here's a picture that refutes the CNN pictures Two screenshots which show people who couldn't get in: http://i.imgur.com/IepsikG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/01cK0JA.jpg "Trump Inauguration OVERFLOW crowd pictures" https://twitter.com/Tyrannocan... https://twitter.com/Tyrannocan...

I think I should give another definition to Virtual Reality:  Just like for every stupid thing that happens in the world, the turnout actually was 1.5 millions just like Trump said and ALL those TV networks including the non partisan Nielsen numbers (which accurately puts FOX NEWS on top of the cable news networks for the audience numbers), and Metro numbers were part of that conspiracy -- or what our Nepali leader Girija Prasad Koirala famously used to say, "grand design."  I don't know what the pictures posted were trying to prove, but the security fencing that was installed around the National Mall for the inauguration had seven check points and there was NO magnetometers on the National Mall or that there was any difficulty getting to the national mall...all according to the Secret Service.  And the same building picture..well, I thought the building does look smaller if the picture is taken from the distance.

Instead of arguing who's big  just understand there is no scientific method to very anybody's claim. so no one is right or wrong to precision.  But this wasn't the only issue, the MLK statue removal fake news was another Trump has complained but surprisingly no medias at all talks about it since they know they are fuked up big. All fake liberals news claims Trump's fascinated with numbers and rating but not an attempt that they failed big to portray him as racist.. what dishonest time we live in !! only this election opened my eyes wide.

It is surprising and as well thinking of mental status of US President talking about the crowd. I think it is childish talk like talking and comparing how many friends and family were in my 10th birthday. When is he going to graduate from Kindergarten talk and behavior as well? While I was in college , college elect president was very bad on delivering his message and speeches. Couple month later he improved a lot and it was amazing. But Trump was  in campaign since 2015 and attended and delivered hundreds of speeches by now he should have grown up and act like a president. How you say the same sentence gives different meaning.  ला खाआआ ( it sounds like throwing food to pets) ला खा ( more polite and genuinely asking) We can not do anything other than expressing our concern but it would be better if mr. Trump acts  as a leader of the world not as a owner of Trump Tower business. So my point is you are not a Trump business owner but the world leader and act accordingly. Bill Clintons inauguration had the record, 29 millions. Total Viewer / Population and availability of News media. You take it this way the value of a dollar in 1993 and 2017 will  not be the same. Therefor his inauguration was globally watched.  How many of  you got it " Alternative Facts"? I think very few did. People used for Satire.  Last edited: 25-Jan-17 08:28 AM
